Welcome to the #szmakpack
Pet care experience
I am an active/ outdoor person. I walk or run daily and would love the company of your pet on my daily jaunts! I also handle feedings if needed and always ensure your pet has water. My husband also provides care for your pet when staying in our home. Between the two of us, we make sure your dog has a minimum of 4 walks per day. I have 25+ years experience caring for dogs. In addition to my own animals, I have worked with my daughter who breeds Bochis and Dobermans . The pics I have included are some of the dogs I have cared for. When sitting for your pups, I would be more than happy to care for any other animals in the home. I have experience with cats, rabbits, hedgehogs etc. ****** Policies***** Daycare is up to 10 hours . I do provide transportation for a fee, but only if it is local and fits my schedule. I am currently not taking reoccurring daycare bookings because I cannot guarantee my availability for a specific day of the week on an ongoing basis . Boardings are a 24 hour rolling period. If drop off and pick up extend beyond the 24 hours, there may be an additional daycare fee added on to the stay. I am very flexible, but having set drop off and pick up times allows me to ensure your pet is getting the best care and attention possible. When dropping off your pet, if you have not already provided, I would like an alternate contact number, a name and number in case of emergency and your vet's name and number. Please provide feeding schedule and any restrictions. If your animal is on medication, I am comfortable administering, please provide the information needed. All animals should be up to date on vaccinations and flea and tick preventative.

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet
If you dog is on medication or has any allergies it’s important to clearly provide all necessary info. Any routines that need to be kept in place should be disclosed. ie: not allowed on beds or must sleep in crate.
A typical day
We try and keep our guests active between play time in the yard and individual walks. We also make homemade treats so any food restrictions should be disclosed.
